Free Crochet Pattern : Shark Headpiece

It's time for a new headpiece pattern. 

These hats are designed for small dogs, cats or stuffed animals. 

Sharks have been very popular this year. I recently got to make these darling Shark Booties! So cute!

I have sold several Shark Cape Sets and patterns too. 

These sharks were my inspiration for a jawesome 

new headpiece for my Chihuahua Lucy!

Shark Cuddle Cape Set Crochet Pattern

Shark Week is coming starting August 4th! 

I've had this design for the shark cuddle cape set on my hooks for a while now and after making it several different ways I fell in love with a chinstrap hat idea! I wanted my shark design sweet and not scary! I have to thank my awesome testers for their help. This shark has gone through lots of changes from when it was first drawn up. 

I can't wait to get this off to my photographer. Seeing it on a baby always makes a huge difference. One of my sweet testers took a pic on her little baby and it was adorable!! You can see that in my facebook tester album along with some other great sharks. 

I love the way the tail and fins turned out. They are slightly stuffed with poly-fil to hold shape. 

Look at those choppers and cute beady eyes! 

This fun new shark pattern is on sale in my Raverly shop for two more days!
